CASE. A bankruptcy judge’s disqualification is governed by 28
U.S.C. § 455. The judge is disqualified from presiding over a proceeding or contested matter in which a disqualifying circumstance arises—and, when appropriate, from presiding over the entire case.
(b) FROM ALLOWING COMPENSATION. The bankruptcy judge is disqualified from allowing compensation to a relative or to a person
who is so connected with the judge as to make the judge’s allowing it improper.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
